Re: 12/18/2013 Game Thread #25: Pacers Vs. Heat

To all the Hill haters, that turnover wasn't entirely on him. He thought George was rolling to the corner (clearly the design of the play), but George cut to the hoop at the last second because there was open space. Just a miscommunication/poor timing.

It was a bad play. Throwing the ball across the width of the court isn't a consistent recipe for success.

Re: 12/18/2013 Game Thread #25: Pacers Vs. Heat

Hill is not bad at all. The play was dumb. He is our 5th best player. Ball should not be in his hands for more than 2 secs or for a wide open jumper off a lance or pg pass. I dont understand it, but usually stuff like this game falls on the coach. Don't think it is even a question we are better than Miami. Now it comes down to not doing stupid stuff like holding the ball for 20 secs every possession when the offense is in a groove once the game is in the final 3 minutes.

Also, we led for what, 45 minutes. This is what always happens to us in Miami. It happened to us in that Chicago series a few years back too. We lead the whole game and lose in the end. That's what happens when you play teams with superstars on the road. No matter how thoroughly you outplay them, they still win.

#3 was when Chalmers (I think it was) stepped on top of Hibbert's foot and fell down with the basketball, sliding several feet on the ground before the whistle blew. #4 was when Hibbert's hand barely grazed Wade's arm and the foul was called after Wade missed the shot.
